Which seats are the best?

Some people like to be right up the front where they can see the perspiration on musicians’ foreheads. Others enjoy being up the back, with an elevated view of the entire orchestra. While all seats allow for a great concert experience, you can choose to pay extra for the most popular seats in the house. These tend to be closer to the stage while allowing great views of the orchestra and soloists, who almost always perform on the lefthand side of the stage (when viewed from the audience).

When should I arrive?

We recommend arriving 30 minutes before the concert and allowing time for any traffic or parking issues. If you’re running late, don’t panic. Our friendly staff will be there to usher you to your seat at the earliest appropriate moment.

You’re welcome to dress up to the nines, but we don’t expect you to. There’s no dress code. Jeans are as appropriate as tuxedos, and sneakers are as accepted as heels.

Overview

Hobart City Hall is the perfect venue for the bold and beautiful sounds of our Brass and Percussion players.

We’ve got George Harrison shaking hands with George Handel and The Nutcracker played alongside Queen - but it somehow all makes sense!

Host and TSO Principal Cello, Jono, will keep you entertained between pieces with musical tidbits, and his best (or worst) dad jokes. Grab a drink and a bite to eat and enjoy the musical fireworks.
